“There exists, for everyone, a sentence - a series of words - that has the power to destroy you. Another sentence exists, another series of words, that could heal you. If you’re lucky you will get the second, but you can be certain of getting the first.”

“I see the mountains in the sky; the great clouds; and the moon; I have a great and astonishing sense of something there, which is “it” - it is not exactly beauty that I mean. It is that the thing is in itself enough: satisfactory, achieved. A sense of my own strangeness, walking on the earth is there too: of the infinite oddity of the human position; with the moon up there and those mountain clouds. Who am I, what am I, and so on: these questions are always floating about in me.”

- Virginia Woolf, from a diary entry dated 27 February 1926. (via violentwavesofemotion)

Paradox of Praxis 1 (Sometimes doing something leads to nothing)
Mexico City, 1997

The artist Francis Alÿs pushed a block of ice around Mexico City until it melted away to nothing.

This is how I feel, sometimes, while I work on my current project #articantartic. Will it lead to something?

The Holy Mountain’s “Cathedral of Ice” (1926, dir. Arnold Fanck) (via)

The 50 ft. tall cathedral was constructed from ice painstakingly shaped for months on an armature of metal pipes.
